Comment(by bmnot):
This is a big deal, and one of the main things preventing the WebUI from
being completely standalone.
I am guessing that the reason it has not been added in 2 years is that
it's difficult to implement file-naming over the web (when you don't have
access to the local filesystem to verify paths, permissions, existing file
clobbering, etc).
Well, how about:
* Implementing a Rename option in the right-click menu for files in the
WebUI, which pops up a simple text field, pre-filled with the current
filename.
* Sanitizing the input by disallowing slashes and illegal filename
characters in the text field.
* Doing a JSON-RPC call to ask the daemon "will this requested name (i.e.
"new filename.txt") be okay?" and getting a reply like "1:ok, 2:file
exists and can be overwritten, 3:file exists and no permission to
overwrite"
This gets rid of the need to implement path-moving when renaming a file,
and takes care of permissions/clobbering issues.
Thoughts?
